    Talking Project "Elektra"

    Well with some arm twisting by some friends and family....although not all of them....I went and got this









    It's the GTS-4 if you can't work it out from the outside.
    Hopefully going to be mainly a track toy.....that's the theory anyway

    It's got a cat back; homemade decat; air filter; stupid bov (coming off) and nasty wheels.

    Got a couple of weight saving mods to do....to liven her up a bit.....then see what else I can throw at it.

    Needs a few bits....not too many I hope...to get it running smoothly.....seems to have a little over-fuelling issue.....hence it being parked at SP


    Not sure the missus is too pleased I've now got 2 skylines.

    Adam....I do get a bit freaked out, thinking about binning that big lump of cash into a wall......won't be quite so upset if it happens with this.....hoping to perfect the technique of track driving first....then move up the bhp grade.

    Al...no, idea but I don't think it needed much help ....I hope it is too.

    Good reasons, track insurance helps

    Looking very clean though, wheels have got to go agreed

    Unhappy Not great news

    Well just had an update from Mr W.

    Looks like I'm going to need some new wires......a LOT of wires actually.

    Bloody thing has driven him and me mad trying to pin it down.

    So after many hours of fiddling and replacing parts (some new, some borrowed), to rule them out, it comes down to some p!ssy copper wire

    What's next??? Well either replace or repair......should have some more details by the end of the week.

    ****ING Skylines!!
    Hope this doesn't turn out to be a shitter!

    Thats a shame to hear mate,hope it works out to be nothing too serious and it is repairable.
    These GTS4's will make a great track car,that was the plan for mine but I'm after another skyline and not sure if I can justify owning two,so I know where there may be another for sale fairly soon.
    (wont be for a few weeks though,)
